You don't know if he would have defeated other tougher opponents. His level against Murray and Fed says he probably would have.
not his level against djoker .....whom he matches up worse against than against federer ( his level was impressive in 2007, 2008 finals regardless of matchup though )
let's not forget murray's implosion mid-way in 2011 SF after missing a routine FH on a BP opportunity ... it wasn't that tough ..
yes, an early loss there, which borg didn't have .....
.................
what I absolutely detest is the idea that nadal achievements wise is remotely close on grass ( even considering the federer factor ) ...
I'm not talking level wise when both are playing well, I'm talking overall achievements wise
it took a monumental effort from mac in the 81 final to finally dethrone borg there ... ( djoker's level in the 2011 final wasn't that good overall and neither was rosol's ( apart from the final set where he was insane ) )
some talk up nadal adjusting to grass ... of course, he did and it was great ...... but when compared to borg's adjustment from RG to wimbledon, from endless rallies at RG from the baseline to frequent SnVing at the net at wimbledon, it frankly pales in comparison .....
and the_order was even insinuating that nadal could even come close to borg's domination there on the old, slick , low boucing grass ....... please , he couldn't do that on the present day grass, let alone the grass in older times ,where it'd be much tougher ...
its just plain cluelessness/bias and an insult to borg IMO ....
